I don't think I agree with you - the basic precept of marriage is to create a family structure, and swinging violates that precept since it introduces an outsider into the structure.  The family structure is central to ours and most societies, which is why there is a push for same sex marriages by homosexual couples.  Why get married if you want to include others?  Only for the licensing, as Jim Campbell tells me. I guess the next logical step for the court to take is to allow marriages of three or more people - and it will happen.

  Realistically adultery is a religious construct.  You look at the various
  polyamory movements and swingers and so forth and see groups that don't
  believe in monogamy, and they are perfectly happy with their choice.  Now
  obviously you need to look at it kind of like contract law too I guess.  If
  you agree to monogamy during your vows you should be somehow bound, but
  altering the vows to allow extra marital relations should certainly be
  allowed.  The military has some very out dated laws regarding sexuality
  still.  Sodomy of any kind, even when consent is given, is prohibited.
  That's just silly in this day and age.

  I was just thinking the same thing...

  Obviously, adultery has no consistent meaning in a legal sense and all
  definitions of it should be thrown out until something that works can be
  discovered. This should apply to religious institutions as well.

  Should mean Erika is released from any monogomous obligations she
  previously felt bound by, Gel.

  So let me get this right...

  In Massachusetts, same-sex marriages are ok

  But in New Hampshire, if you are married and have an affair with someone
  of
  the same sex, it is not adultery.
